 escription:\n   Link shorteners are one of the many tools used to spread s
 pam\, scams\,\n   and general misinformation. While performing a security 
 audit on a\n   popular link shortener\, we discovered a way to redirect li
 nks that\n   were banned for terms of service violations (or otherwise nor
 mally\n   404'd.) This gave us a rare chance to take a look behind the cur
 tain\n   and allowed us to gather lots of really interesting metrics about
  how\n   and where these link shorteners are abused\, to the tune of over 
 40\,000\n   pageviews a day. The talk ends with us having a little fun wit
 h our\n   newly found traffic firehose and using it as a chance to teach\n
    would-be victims about the dangers of scams and misinformation on the\n
    internet at scale!\n   '\n\n   1. https://defcon.outel.org/consolidated
